Buccaneers 'Can Do Any Damn Thing We Want' on Offense, Says Bruce Arians

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers spent most of their bye week facing scrutiny about their offense and speculation over the relationship between coach Bruce Arians and Tom Brady.

After an impressive 26-14 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, it appears the Bucs feel like they're back on track. 

"When asked early this week about our identity, I think we just showed our identity," Arians told reporters. "We can do any damn thing we want to do."

The Bucs won despite compiling just 303 total yards of offense and holding possession for 20 minutes, 57 seconds, thanks in large part to their efficiency when they had the ball and some timely defensive stops.

They also got some help from Vikings kicker Dan Bailey, who shanked three field goals and an extra point that would have made the game far closer than its final score.

There are still some obvious concerns. Tom Brady continues to miss wide-open targets down the field; his first-half miss of Chris Godwin was one of Brady's worst throws in recent memory. The Bucs also gave Leonard Fournette a healthy scratch Sunday, a sign they're moving in a different direction at the running back spot. 

That said, the Bucs have all but certainly secured an NFC playoff spot. The final three weeks of the season will be working out the kinks and ensuring they can do "any damn thing" they please when the spotlight brightens.
